i really feel like writing the book reviews for A walk to Remember and My Sister's Keeper. Really nice books...A Walk to Remember.
(book)
There was a time when the world was sweeter... when the woman in Beaufort, North Carolina, wore dresses, and the men donned hats...
Every April, when the wind smells of both the sea and lilacs, Landon Carter remembers 1958, his last year at Beaufort High. Landon has dated a girl or two, and even once sworn that he'd been in love. Certainly the last person he thought he'd fall for was Jamie, the shy, almost ethereal daughter of the town's Baptist Minister... Jamie, who was destined to show him the depths of the human heart---and the joy and the pain of living.
From the internationally bestselling author Nicholas Sparks comes his most moving story yet...

In a costal North Carolinian small town in the mid 1990's, a boy from the popular group gets busted and for punishment, you guessed in, had to do community service activities which include the high school's spring play. This throws him in with the minister's daughter, you guessed it, the mousy seemingly akward yet beautiful girl with an angelic heart, and she sings too. They grow hesitantly closer than their previous adversarial relationship as old bonds are tested and new awarnesses are inspired. A couple twists occur as the story concludes.
wow... so nice.. i shall go ask Sheryl for the DVD version..
My Sister's Keeper.
(book)
In my first memory, I am three years old, and I am trying to kill my sister. Sometimes, the recollection is so clear I can rememberthe itch of the pillowcase under my hand, the sharp point of her nose pressing into my palm...
Anna is not sick, but she might as well be. By age thirteen, she has undergone countless surgeries, transfusions, and injections to help her sister, Kate, fight leukaemia. Anna was born for this specific purpose, her parents tell her, which is why they ove her even more.
But now she can't help but wonder what her life would be like if it weren't tied to her sister's... and so she makes a decision that for most, at any age, would be too difficult to bear, and sues her parents for the rights to her own body.
